The
BYOD
Platform of Video Lessons
•
The project’s main result is the European Platform of Video Lessons hosting
videos accessible by teachers, students at any time and any place and through
any device applying an approach of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device).
•
The digital learning occurs through developing videos with Math contents,
based on the specific curricula in the partnership countries.
The
BYOD
Platform of Video Lessons
•
Teachers/Researchers from all partners organisations have worked on the
development of the materials/videos for the E-platform, providing Math
problem scenarios for the development of the videos and also have
contributed for the development of the methodology and educational
approach.
•
Constraints imposed will be regarding the commercial reuse of the material as
well as giving appropriate credit and license when reusing the material. Thus,
the resources will be released under the
Creative Commons Attribution-
NonCommercial 4.0 International Licence
.
•
The design and development of the e-platform has been performed mostly by
Skybridge.

The
BYOD
Platform
capacity
1.
Allows the registration, open access and remote participation of a large number of participants
simultaneously.
2.
It can support a large-scale interactive participation combining traditional course materials with
audiovisual content and p
roviding user forums that help build a community consisting of
learners, instructors, and teaching assistants.
3.
Promotes microlearning, as it allows the trainee to show progress efficiently in short timeframes.
4.
Supports a learner-centered training model that promotes the creation of this active and
stimulating BYOD learning community.
The
BYOD
Platform
capacity
The Learning Platform used for the purposes of the BYOD MOOC is
Open edX
https://open.edx.org/
List of features:
o
Open-source learning platform.
o
Designed for the MOOC world of online and self-paced learning.
o
Caters nicely to larger-scale audiences.
o
It has interactive forums and discussion boards.
o
It works on any device.
o
It offers interactive content with adaptive video streaming.
o
It provides intelligent, learner-centric analytics to help instructors understand how learners
engage with course material.
The
BYOD
Platform
capacity
Modularity & Microlearning
approach
o
The course is structured in a modular
manner and organized in sections
(Weeks) and subsections (Lessons). This
is inline with the relative new
microlearning concept.
o
With microlearning, the content is
broken down into bite-sized pieces of
learning material.
Instead of hour-long
lectures, the BYOD course is built up of
many bite-sized components, of short
videos (
max 10 minutes long)
and
additional materials in downloadable
format.

The BYOD Instructor has the capability
to reach all the platform users (learners
and/or Staff) through the bulk email
functionality.
Upon successful submission a message
informing that the email was sent is
displayed.
The email body can be formatted and
managed through the BioS easy-to-use
text editor.

Extensive pilot testing of the platform
The platform has been tested by both BYOD teachers (internal evaluation) & end-
users (students - external evaluation).

Analytics
Each time a learner interacts with the BYOD platform,
relevant data records are created in the BYOD VLE
data storage system.
In addition, the following reports can be downloaded
in the form of csv files through a dedicated data
download page accessible only to staff members:
o
Profile of users including full name, email,
preferred language, country, year of birth, gender,
etc
o
Students Progress
These reports are available for download through a
web link generated in the platform. To keep student
data secure, these web links cannot be saved or
emailed. Copies of links expire within 5 minutes.
